MessahZ :: Chapter [?? :: By Kang
Blink blink. Blink. He¡¦s at it again. It¡¦s the same dream. He knows that his limbs are flailing wildly in the air. There is no ground. He¡¦s falling. The wind is screaming in his ears as he tries to cover his face from his hair lashing upon it. Looking around, he cannot see anything but intermittent light and dark. Are those feathers fluttering around him? What¡¦s going on? He asks himself again and again. Suddenly he gasped for air. This action made him realize that the jam in his throat from the fall was not allowing him to breathe. The desperate gulp of icy air chilled his already beaten form. TG has been falling for a long time. But from where?

A sharp pain in his back woke TG up. His eyes opened wildly, only to see his own reflection, covered in sweat from the window at the far side of his studio apartment.
¡§Its that crazy dream again. And argh! This pain!¡¨
Focusing beyond his reflection, he saw that the pod1 traffic is starting to get heavy. Struggling to get his aching body out of his bed, he noted with increasing anxiety that he is getting late for his date with Vlya. The personal planner hovering nearby is not helping him relax with its ominous red glow, a sign that if he didn¡¦t get out of the place soon, he would have to face a very pissed Vyla. She hated him to be late and the previous 3 counts of him being late is not exactly a flawless track record. Grabbing whatever is at the top of the washed laundry tube, he hurriedly put the shirt on and made sure he looked presentable before stepping out into the Kylantean afternoon.

With the strange dream still bugging him, TG stood outside the Pantheon Circ2, absent-mindedly scratching the fading pain away from his back. He realised that he must be looking rather slip shod and goofy, rushing to get dressed, Why, he was wearing the exact same thing he wore for their date 2 days back! In his rush, he even forgot to bring Vyla¡¦s present, something he thought might make her forget the last few counts of him being late. He was so sure that the gift, together with the hard to get ticket to the
Strilget3 performance could earn him her forgiveness. He spent ages persuading Donquel and Asalia to give them up to him, and even though it was a matinee, ended up paying more than twice for them.

However, the strange dream, the exorbitant tickets, the forgotten present and his messy appearance was soon forgotten as he was the object of his affection walking up to him. Pushing aside some stray strands of his sandy brown hair, he walked up to her with a dorky grin on his face. The warm reception he was so used to getting did not come. Vyla stopped dead in her tracks seeing his approach and with a distasteful look at him, gave him a tight slap and walked off towards the entrance. TG wanted so badly to say something in his defense, to ask what was wrong but before he could even find the right words to say, clammed his mouth shut as he was Xiate walking towards Vyla and giving TG a sorry-u-are-so-screwed-so-get-lost look, guided her into the complex.

TG had always liked being in the company of Shekinah, and now, sitting on one of those cushy couches in her place had already made him feel much better. Sipping some hot caramel chocolate from the dispenser, he started relating to her how the distance between Vyla and him is widening. He found it increasingly difficult to balance between spending quality time with her and the rest of the gang. Also, with the rumor of him double dating Vyla and Minoa at the same time wasn¡¦t helping at all. It also seems to him that Xiate, that Negav guy who has had a crush on Vyla for quite some time already, is finally taking this as his chance to get her. Somehow, although Shekinah hasn¡¦t asid much, telling all these to her has alleviated some of his worries. There is an aura of calm and peacefulness surrounding her. With a slight nod of her head, TG went on to talk about how he felt uneasy and even threatened by the unexplained appearance of that old man (metatron). Also, his dreams ¡V do they mean anything? What is the significance behind them? He asked about how Amanda was, as she was still under observation from the bus incident (remember the one where her powers manifestated when everyone started turning old). It seems like life in Kylantis is getting harder and harder to accept with the increased frequency of weird and inexplicable happenings, though the elders attribute them to some shift in the balance of the residual magic from Ailantean times.

Talking to Shekinah felt so good as it took such a heavy burden off him. However, he has spent too much time there already..

After the battle where TG lost his wings
He became insane
Images of lucifer tempting him to turn evil
He was broken by the will of lucifer and became a very powerful demon, becoming a threat to the entire group, esp to vyla and xiate whom he was still pissed and sore over..
But before his transformation he gave his pendant to isis and this is what will turn him back to normal later, after vyla reveals her love for him and wields it to banish the demon within
Leaves tg very weak.
Evolution of power and blah blah¡K becomes better and stronger person¡K
Continue story esp with the realisation of their destiny and stuff





1 Pod: Kylantean main form of private transport
2 Pantheon Circ: State of the art performance venue ala our Esplanade
3 Strilget: Current fad in Kylantis, a performance, sort of like watching sentosa¡¦s musical fountain, but much much more complex and with better maneuvers music, drama etc.. and it can be appreciated from all angles, offering a different perspective from each one, sort of like admiring a bonsai plant.. the audience is seated all round the stage. All 360 degrees.
4 Negav: Kylantis answer to the hip culture of surfing, skateboarding etc¡K Negav is a sport that is conducted in a Negav Sphere, where the internal conditions can be altered. Comes in GravNeg (reduced gravity) and FricNeg (reduced friction). Participants do their stuff inside, a fusion of extreme skateboarding meets surfing meets break dancing.
